Rise and Shout the Cougars are Out

Richard and Holly got to go to the most talked about football game of the season. Yes, we had tickets to the BYU / Utah game on Saturday. Our seats were in the south end zone, so we weren't able to watch any of the replays. It was a great game, with BYU coming out on top, with the game going right down to the last play.

Our seats were in the shade the whole game, and it was cold, but we had a GREAT time.

GO COUGARS!

Pie Pigout

The Reitz family gets together on the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving and has a dessert party. We all met at Uncle Stephen's house. There was more treats than we could all sample, great food, great fun, great family.

ENCHANTED

Holly won 6 tickets to see the movie ENCHANTED. Grandma, Grandpa, Gail, Mindy, Rachael and I all went to see it at the Gateway theaters. It was a fun show and we all enjoyed it.

Ross, Gail, Mindy, and Ryley

It must be Thanksgiving time, the Ross Anderson Family has arrived. Ross, Gail, Mindy, and Ryley arrived on Saturday night to spend a week here for Thanksgiving. Ryley just gets taller and taller every time we see him. Mindy is now in college, and Gail is going to start working full time next month. It is good to have them here. We went to Amy and jay's for dinner on Sunday and had a great time.

Cyclocross in California

Normally we only officiated Road Racing Events, but once in a blue moon I get asked to do a cyclocross event. I flew out to California to work a UCI Cyclocross Race in the LA area in October. I found out about the race on Monday and flew out on Friday. We had host housing and I stayed at a home that overlooked the Rose Bowl. I could have almost watched the football game from the house. The area brought back lots of memories of our family trip to the Rose Parade when the American Fork High School Marchinig Band played in the parade. The band had a performance at the Rose Bowl a couple of days before the parade.

The weekend that I was in California the Santa Ana winds kicked up and we had lots of wind. The fires stareted that weekend and I could watch the smoke progress across the sky. It was very dark from the smoke. It was a successful bike race and I had a great weekend.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Austin and Sean joined us for Halloween. We went to the ward "Trunk or Treat". Dinner and Games followed by the Trunk or Treating. We finished the evening with Steven getting treats in his neighborhood. Special Thanks to our friends Kevin and Shawna Leake for the "Giant Pumpkin"
